Electric Vehicles in Queensland, Australia

From Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast to the far corners of Queensland, battery‑electric vehicle registrations have leapt 404.2% in just two years—rising from 3,047 in 2021 to 15,364 in 2023 — pushing BEVs to 0.37% of the entire light‑vehicle fleet.

Drivers now share 271 public charging stations—about one plug for every 19,247 residents and only 57 BEVs—dramatically reducing queuing and range anxiety on both city streets and regional highways.

Clean energy is plentiful: 1,086,250 rooftop PV systems totalling 6,810,317.9kW deliver 1.306 kW for every resident, or roughly 70.70 solar arrays for each electric car—turning lunchtime sunshine into zero‑cost kilometres after work.

Showroom data confirms the family‑friendly trend: small‑ and medium‑SUVs captured 40.6% of all new‑vehicle deliveries in Q2 2024, highlighting where consumers want their next long‑range EV options.

With a population of 5,215,814 people, a maturing solar backbone, and a charger network stretching from Brisbane to Bundaberg, Queensland is weaving together an end‑to‑end clean‑transport ecosystem that promises quieter streets, cleaner air, and cheaper commutes for every community.
